Mango Ripening

The mango is one of the most popular fruits in the world, and ripening them is not very different than the process for bananas, avocados, and other fruits.

In some parts of the world, acetylene or calcium carbide have been used to ripen mango fruit. We strongly discourage these methods, most especially because making ethylene gas from catalytic generators is so inexpensive, reliable, and safe.

Ethylene Gassing for Ripening Mango

Fresh Air is Important

Because the respiration rate of ripening mango is so high, it is important to have adequate fresh air supply to a ripening room. Using a carbon dioxide (CO2) sensor can easily help you keep CO2 levels to under one-half of one-percent (0.5%)

Relative Humidity is Also Important

It is wise to maintain relative humidity (RH) at levels between 90 and 94%. This minimizes weight loss by the fruit, which in turn increases saleable weight and shelf life, and also provides for better-looking fruit.

You can also precisely control RH and CO2, and even gas the fruit without the ripener being onsite.
